Week 10 - Tues 15-11-11 - Draping exercise


Today we created a bodice block directly from the stand and drew our pattern from that, rather than drawing the pattern first and then cutting out the fabric. It made me realise that with basic understanding of clothes, you can create a pattern for anything as long as you add darts in the right places. I enjoyed making my own bodice block from scratch.



Using the bodice block as the base, I then created a ruffled top. This is the correct way to drape fabric as it is pinning onto the bodice block NOT onto the mannequin, therefore you know that your design is going to work on a real life model.
